Timeline:

• June/July 2013 >>Through the summer, you can continue to work on your class web sites from the 2012-13 school year, however keep in mind that some content (**See note) is not transferable when the new classes are imported in August.  
• August 21, 2013 Rollover Part One >>
  All class websites will be automatically archived on this date to prepare for the import of 2013-14 classes.  Please do not work in your class websites on this date until after the new classes are imported on August 21st.  
• August 22, 2013 >>
  The new classrooms import will contain courses for the 2013-14 school year.  The first time logging in to your site, teachers will see a notification indicating that new classrooms have been created.  This simple system is designed to help you transfer content from your old archived classrooms into your fresh new classrooms.  Any existing classrooms from the prior school year will remain archived until they are deleted.  
• August 26, 2013 Rollover Part Two >>
  The Student data and class membership imports will join students to classrooms. 

Steps to Activate your New Class Websites: The first time you login to your site after the August 21st Rollover, you will see a notification indicating that the new class Web sites have been created for you (See example at right)   Select the previous class from each drop-down box for each of your new classrooms

1. After you have completed the selections, click the “Activate New Class Sites” button to activate your new classrooms and populate them with content from the previous class.
   
2. (Activating New Class Sites without matching a previous class site to a new class site will result in only activating clean new class sites without content from previous year)  In this case, the import/export feature in Class Configuration will allow you to transfer content from one class to another.
   
   **Note** The  following content is not included in the transition:  Calendar Events, Classroom Tasks, Homepage files (files uploaded via Announcements or Class Web Pages), Membership, and Wikis.  Some feature such as the Homework Assignments, Blogs, Slideshows, Podcasts and Videos can be repurposed using the Reuse Feature.  Quiz Question Banks are now automatically shared between all Classroom FusionPages that you administer.
